Program common stimuli
A method to program for generalization during instruction that ensures the SDs used in the instructional setting are similar or the same as those used in the generalization setting/natural environment.

PTB’s Special ABA Sauce: Mastering the ABCs of Behavior
Test your understanding of the ABCs of Behavior with PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she analyzes a tasty scenario to identify the MO, SD, prompt, behavior, and consequence using PTB’s special ABC breakdown method. Discover how ordering extra sauce serves as a perfect example to unravel the intricate relationship between MOs, deprivation, SDs, and reinforcement.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections B-1: Define and provide examples of behavior, response, and response class, B-10: Define and provide examples of stimulus control, B-12: Define and provide examples of motivating operations and G-4: Use stimulus and response prompts and fading (e.g., errorless, most-to-least, least-to-most, prompt delay, stimulus fading).

Random rotation
A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which random mastered targets are presented in a randomized order.
Ratio strain
When challenging behaviors reemerge because of an abruptly thinned reinforcement schedule.
Redundancy prompt
A stimulus prompt that helps a learner make a correct discrimination by pairing the correct choice with one or more stimulus or response dimensions (e.g., color, size, shape).
Reflexivity
Refers to the trained response of matching a stimulus to an identical stimulus and then matching the two stimuli in reverse without additional training (i.e., If A=A, then A=A).
Relational frame theory (RFT)
A behavior analytic approach to language which aims to connect and understand the relationship between language and derived stimulus relations. The theory hypothesizes that learned behavior is acquired through a
Reprimand
A positive punishment procedure that involves providing vocal negative or corrective feedback following the occurrence of an undesirable behavior.
Response block
Physically intervening to interrupt and prevent a response from occurring. Hint: When the behavior is prevented from occurring by the addition of the thing that “blocks” it, it cannot occur
Response cost
A loss of a specific amount of reinforcement that is contingent on a challenging behavior.
Response differentiation
The emergence of the target novel behavior produced by differential reinforcement, during a shaping procedure in ABA, in which the reinforced members of the desired response class occur more often

Response interruption and redirection (RIRD)
A positive punishment procedure that involves presenting demands, prompts, or distractions to interrupt and redirect repetitive, stereotypic, and self-injurious behaviors.
